Value Collection 37442 Stainless Steel Tube 1-3/4 in Od 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 37442 is a welded round stainless steel tube manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel. It measures 1-3/4 inches in outside diameter with a 0.035-inch wall thickness and an inside diameter of 1.680 inches. Cut length ranges from 6 to 7 feet. Produced to ASTM A249 and ASTM A269 standards, this tube suits fluid transfer, structural framing, and mechanical applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC contractors, and general mechanical tradespeople commonly source this tube for service and fabrication work.

This tube is suited for both residential and light commercial applications. Common uses include process piping, heat exchanger fabrication, condenser coil assemblies, drain and vent lines, and structural support framing. The 304 stainless alloy provides reliable performance in wet, humid, and mildly corrosive environments. Its welded construction and standard OD sizing make it compatible with common tube fittings, compression fittings, and flanged connections found in typical mechanical installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and fabrication replacement tube for mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing assemblies requiring 1-3/4-inch OD round welded stainless steel tubing conforming to ASTM A249 or ASTM A269 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or HVAC technician familiar with stainless steel tube fabrication. Shut off and de-energize all associated systems before cutting or fitting. Use tube cutters or saw blades rated for stainless steel to avoid work-hardening the cut edge; deburr all cut ends before assembly. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1, B31.3, IPC, or IFGC as relevant to the installation type.
